hello, is there any particular reason that natsuyuu is released bi-monthly even though lala is a monthly magazine?
That's because Natsume Yuujinchou initially began serializing in the bi-monthly magazine LaLa DX before switching over to LaLa. Midorikawa probably didn't want to change her schedule despite the move, so she kept it bi-monthly, and I don't blame her for it.

25 volumes (as of 4/14/2023, ongoing)
Licensed by Viz Media
Takashi Natsume has always been aware of the supernatural world, but after he inherits a magical book from his grandmother, the supernatural world is aware of him!
Takashi Natsume can see the spirits and demons that hide from the rest of humanity. He has always been set apart from other people because of his gift, drifting from relative to relative, never fitting in. Now he's a troubled high school student who has come to live in the small town where his grandmother grew up. And there he discovers that he has inherited more than just the Sight from the mysterious Reiko.
When Reiko was Takashi's age, she bound the names of demons and spirits in her Book of Friends, enslaving them to her capricious whim. Now Takashi is the owner of the book, and the creatures will do anything to get their names back.
